k my wife agreed to try the cycling thing (road and mountain) and i need to get her a ride (mtb). i'd like to stay in the same shop (they have my giants and yetis) so basically i'm looking for a giant, or a haro. this is also going to be a money issue and not sure how much yet but i don't want it to break. any suggestions... i have no idea about haro there are plenty other dealers around town too: gf, specialized, trek, klein, litespeed, santacruz, raliegh, jamis, etc... i haven't really started looking but i figured jamis/raleigh would be best bang for buck, but i'd like to see if anyone had a sub 1k giant or haro they could give feedback on of course all are welcome. should i look at used one? on the price thing i really don't want to go over 800 cause its her first but at the same time i want it to last in case shes not too into it. again i'd like to go with giant or haro but have no idea about that range/quality for them but i wouldn't be too disgruntled with a jamis/raleigh/gf (thinking xc ht/ ??/ tassajara or hoo k whatever)
